Best Trails in Lacey Keosauqua State Park

A series of 19 mounds overlook the Des Moines River in the northwest section of the park. These were built by an ancient group of Woodland Culture Indians in order to bury their dead. Such mounds are usually found on hilltops overlooking river valleys.
These are sacred locations to living Native American peoples - please pay your respects and avoid walking on or otherwise disturbing the mounds.
